To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW E. BuuscHEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in` the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Paper Boxes, of Awhichr the-following is a description. i l "f My. invention belongs to that general class of'device kno'wn as boxes, and refers par.- ticularly to a folding paper box suitable for containing"` candies, pop corn, nu'ts, and

' other confections or such other articles as may be desired. The invention has among its object-s the production of. a box ot the kind'described 'that 1s simple, convenient, durable, attractive, eliicient and satisfactory for use Wherever' found applicable.

The invention has particularly among its time 'a box that' will netaccidentally come unfastened ox; spill the contents.

, l.. rwn'box that' may 4fillingu'i'thout requiring the use of uotseparate fasteners described 'will bev or the like." Othleb, Qwadvantages and' novel features ofv it herein shown and to those'skilled in the r art fromA thedisclosure herein given.

To this end my' invention consists in the novel construction', arrangement and combinationof partsherein shownfand described, and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, wherein like reference characters indicate like or corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a plan View of the blank mak. ing up thebox; Y f yIig.2 is a sectional View on line 2--2 of the made up box;

. tially on line 3--3y of Fig. 2,and

Fig. tis a perspective-view of the formed .box with fone endv open.

Referring to. the' drawings, i the' box is made up from a fblanksimilar tothat shown in' Fig. 1, paper orvpaper'hoard being the preferred material; l'As shown, Vthe blank consistsoifa bottom part 1' formedvintegrai. `with'thei extendlngparts 2 and 3 which "conblank preferably being scored, as indicated at 4, at the juncture of the bottom and sides. The same is also integrally formed with the end sections 5 preferably of triangular shape, the blank bbing also scored at 6 6 at each end of the bottom, as shown. One side as shown, side 2, is preferably cut as at 7 to form a handle part 8, 9 being aV cover iap formed on the side 2 the blank being scored at 10.* The flap 9 is provided with an extending or locking yflap part 11, the same being scored at 12, the lpart 11 being' cut as indicated at 13 toforrn a smaller or auxiliary flap 14. The side 2 is' also provided with the slits '15, 15 adjacent the outer or top corners, the same being preferably substantiallyV of the shape shown.

The other side 3. of the blank iscut out la at 16 to forni the handle 18, and is preferably cut backv as at. 17 to form an opening at the top of the b ox for the removal of the'contents-when folded or setup, as will be hereinafter described., The-side 3 is also provided with the slits 19, 19 similar to 15, 15, and with a slit 20 of a size to receive the locking flap 11 on the opposite side 2. In

the preferredconstruction the cut-out at 17 1s of such width as tolform a shoulder-26 at each side.

Each of the ends is preferably sco-red at 20 and cut at 21 to provide the extending, parts or aps 227and 23. The `part 22 is also preferably' notched. at 24 or constructed in a vsimilar' manner. A portion of the materiallis also out away at 25, as indicated so that the extending parts 213 may be folded into the box, as hereinafter; described..

In assembling the box orv setting it up,

the sides 21and 3'are bent up as shown in Figs. 2, 3 and l,- and the flap 9 turned over the other side 3, and resting upon orengaging the shoulders 26 (see Fig; l). The extendingpart .11 is thentucked into the slot 20, .as shown 1n Figs. .2 and 4, with the part l I 14outside. The ends are. thenffolded up Fig. 3 1sa sectional view taken substan-- with the parts 23011 ltheinside of fthe box and the parts 22 on the'outside (see Figs. 3 and 1.1.). The .ends et the flaps-.22am tucked into the slotsfl and 19. t Willbe noted bv the dotted lines in Fig. @ity at the top 'of the ends may be bent slightly sd -that 'when the end straightens upa 'rtheyflaps 22 have been .passed through the slots '15 and 19 the notch `24 will engageat'the topv of the\slots so that the' parts are Segui-,g

m oneehdf or through the top, of course before the box is entirely set up, and the contents may be removed by l j unlocking and opening one end, as shown in Fig. 4, or by' raising the. liep 9 and removing the contents through the top 'opening formed` where side `3 cut away at 17. W'hile the auxiliary Hup lei is not entirely necessary same affords a convenient handle for opening the Hap 9, as by it the `port 11 may be pulled up through and out I of the slot 20.

y sists of ,n comparatively small amount of It. will be noted that the box when set up resembles a suit, cese or traveling bag, and the saine may be decorated or made ornamental in any desired Way. The box coni stock, and one of the most striking'features is the ease with which the saine may beset up, filled and closed for sale or shipping. It may also be easily `ind quickly opened, but

. owing to the fact that the Hans lia-ve to be Ipushed down `:is Well :is drawn out, the same will not accidentally open. Should the flap 9 accidentally open, the contents, of course,

would not be lost, 'unless the box Was viiiverted. It willbe noted that no paste, glue or extra fasteners or extra handles are re-I quired, but that the complete set up box is formed entirely by the folding and manipu-l lating of the 'blank shown in- Fig. 1.

Having thus described my invention, it is* obvious that various inmaterial modifications may be made in the saine without departing from the spirit of iny invention; henceI do not Wish to he understood as linutu ing myself tothe exact form, construction, arrangement and combination ofpparts herein shown und `describerl or usos-t `mentioned.
